KAP and CHDK/SDM Java Utilities

This page describes various java utilities I've written since taking up KAP. Most of them provide support for CHDK
and SDM - mechanisms for enhancing the power of
many of the newer Canon Powershot cameras.

MacBoot (which replaces CBasicPrep), an OSX java application
that will prepare bootable
cards to run CHDK, DSLR hacks (such as Magic Lantern) and Canon Basic scripts.

Obsolete or Experimental

Simon Sherwin, creator of the TUCIT, asked me to write a program to help test TUCITs by scanning a set of photos,
extracting the times they were taken and using the results to print a report.
The TS program described here was the result.

CHDK builds that support 'turning' the Mode Dial on the A560, A570 and A720
within a script. Note that these have
become obsolete now that SDM provides this support for a much wider range of cameras -
see the SDM uBasic commands
"movie_mode" and "shoot_movie_for" commands here.
